Bar King Mearns Camp 2025-26!!!!!
Dec 26, 2025-jan?

Anyone headed to join us for mearns camp this year? Sounding like we have about 4-5 campers scheduled, and we have plenty more dry camp available! It’s going to be harder hunting than last season, but as always it will be great company, good drinks, and a hunt you’ll likely never forget. The Bar King will be flooded with Navhda judges and members. Please if considering joining us, do so! There is some availability still for guided hunts, but this is specifically a come hang out at the bar king week and hunt with your friends (yes 3 stooges golf with your friends should be in your head right now). As proud Navhda members we love opening the ranch up to Navhda folks and close friends to come partake in our little slice of heaven. The hunting will be some of the worst on record, but any day in the woods with your dog and great friends is worth the drive!

Have to brag on baby Baxter all grown up. He’s been the clean up dog post puppy training recently and he is just doing fantastic. We couldn’t be happier with how this boy is coming along.

For those that know, this is a big thing for us! Utah has moved into the whelping house and I think we all needed this. Being pulled in both directions has been extremely trying on all of us. Getting to the point where he can come in and hang took forever but we are so grateful he is finally in here! Now let’s hope these puppies motivate him to continue getting better so he can be typical Uncle Utah and play with all of the babies! He loves babies!

We are thrilled to announce the Virgie and Trench Puppies are here! A few days earlier than her last litter so a bit of a surprise but Mama and all 7 babies (5 girls, 2 boys) are happy and healthy and growing like crazy! Individual pictures to come!

Utah update…. He relapsed some, working diligently with his normal vet .vet and the neurologist in Phoenix. We’ve figured out what is causing his UTI and have him on the right meds. He became ataxic again so his steroids and doxycycline have been increased. We think we caught it in time but we are back to only time tells. We knew this was going to be a long hard fight and we are willing to go the distance.

Utah update: 2 mornings ago when he got up to go out, he big stretched. Yesterday he tried to catch a fly. Today while at the vet for a check on his bloodwork and some X-rays there were chickens and a cat and he wanted at all of em! It’s the little signs that give us the most hope. He has a long way to go and we are in no way out of the woods, but everyday we are seeing signs of our boy getting stronger. The disease process has taken all of his muscle and he truly is skin and bones. We are feeding him constantly to keep calories up and energy as high as it can be. He has been very content just laying on his bed outside in the fresh air watching as we continue work. He has become the ranch supervisor. This has been a long and terribly difficult journey but we are still fighting! Huge thank you to .vet for being in his corner since day 1.
